The top of the brake pedal should be
positioned approximately XVS1100
81.8 mm (3.22 in) / XVS1100A 98.5
mm (3.88 in) / XVS1100AT 98.5 mm
(3.88 in) above the top of the footrest as

WARNING
EWA10690
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the hydraulic system. If there is
air in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the motorcycle. Air in
the hydraulic system will diminish
the braking performance, which may
result in loss of control and an acci-
dent.

Adjusting the rear brake light
switch
The rear brake light switch, which is ac-
tivated by the brake pedal, is properly
adjusted when the brake light comes
on just before braking takes effect. If
necessary, adjust the brake light switch
as follows.
Turn the adjusting nut while holding the
rear brake light switch in place. To
make the brake light come on earlier,
turn the adjusting nut in direction (a). To
make the brake light come on later, turn
the adjusting nut in direction (b).
